Getting Started

After you create an account — whether you are a coach signing up or a client accepting an invite — Kounisou sends a confirmation email to the address you used. You must click the link in that email before you can sign in.

The email comes from Kounisou <noreply@kounisou.com>. If you do not see it within a minute or two, check your spam or junk folder. Some email providers (Hotmail, Yahoo) occasionally filter it.

The confirmation link expires after 24 hours. If it has expired, go back to the login page and click Resend confirmation email to get a new one.

Once confirmed, return to kounisou.com and sign in normally. You will only need to confirm once.

Sign up at kounisou.com and select "I am a Coach" during registration. You'll be guided through a 3-step onboarding:

1. Business Info — Your business name, specialties (bodybuilding, weight loss, sports performance, etc.), and certifications.
2. Experience — Years of experience and a short bio that clients will see on your profile.
3. Discovery — Optionally enable your profile on our trainer discovery marketplace so new clients can find you. Set your location, training modalities (online, in-person, hybrid), and price range.

After onboarding, you'll land on your coach dashboard — ready to invite your first client.

There are three ways clients can join:

1. Invite Link— Go to Dashboard → Clients → Invite. Copy the invite link and share it with your client. When they sign up, they're automatically connected to you.
2. Discovery— If you've enabled discovery, clients can find and connect with you through the trainer marketplace.
3. Manual Add— Add a client by email from your Clients page. They'll receive an invitation email.

Once connected, you'll see the client on your roster. Set up their profile, assign a workout program, and configure their macro targets.

Navigate to Dashboard → Workouts → New Program. You have two options:

• Build manually — Add workout days, then add exercises from the 1,000+ exercise library. Set reps, sets, rest times, RPE targets, and coaching notes.
• Generate with AI— Go to AI Tools → Workouts. Enter your client's goal, experience level, equipment, and schedule. The AI generates a complete periodized program in seconds.

After building the program, assign it to a client from the Workouts page using the "Assign" button.

Your coach profile is your public-facing page at kounisou.com/coach/your-handle. Configure it in Settings:

• Profile tab — Photo, bio, specialties, certifications
• Branding tab — Primary color, logo, banner image
• Packages tab — Create coaching packages with pricing, features, and billing periods

Share your profile link on social media, in your email signature, or on your website to attract new clients.

The Kounisou mobile app is currently in beta. It is not yet available on the App Store or Google Play. Coaches and clients can install it now through early access channels:

• iOS (iPhone and iPad) — Join via TestFlight. Ask support for an invitation link.
• Android— Install via a direct APK download. Ask support for the download link and follow your device's instructions to allow installation from unknown sources.

Public App Store and Google Play listing is planned for a later date. In the meantime, the full coaching experience is available through the web app at kounisou.com on any phone browser.

Beta users may encounter occasional bugs. If you run into anything, tap Help in the app or contact support — your feedback helps us improve before the public launch.
